All parties will be afforded the opportunity to assist in the final review of the construction services performed by the contractor. 11. Project Maintenance. Upon completion of the Project, the Local Government will be responsible for maintaining the completed facility for public use for a period of at least ten (10) years. Any manufacturer warranties extended to the Local Government as a result of the Project shall remain in the name of the Local Government. The State shall not be responsible for honoring any warranties under this agreement. 12. Local Project Sources and Uses of Funds A. Project Cost Estimate: A Project Cost Estimate and Payment Schedule is provided in Attachment C, showing the total estimated development cost of the Project. This estimate shows the itemized cost of real property, utilities, environmental assessments and remediation, engineering activities, construction, and any other substantial items of cost. To be eligible for reimbursement, costs must have been included in the itemized budget section of the application approved by the Texas Transportation Commission. Costs may be shifted between work categories after receiving written approval from the State. B. A Source of Funds estimate is also provided in Attachment C. Attachment C shows the percentage and absolute dollar amounts to be contributed to the Project by federal and local sources. C. The Local Government will be responsible for all non-federal participation costs associated with the Project, including any overruns in excess of the Project cost estimate and any operating or maintenance expenses. Donations of real property, cash, materials, and services required for the development of the Project may be eligible to count towards the local funding share of a project as in-kind contributions as long as the donation is not from the Local Government. In order to be considered as an eligible in-kind contribution, donations must be made by public, non-profit, governmental or non- governmental organizations. The value of the donated contributions of real property, materials, or services will be based on fair market value. In-kind donations of services are limited to preparation of plans, specifications and estimates, and may account for no more than ten percent (10%) of the allowable Project's cost. The remaining balance of the local contribution shall be in cash, donated real property or materials. The Local Government may also provide services or materials to reduce the overall cost of a Project, but it will not be considered as an in-kind contribution. AFA - Safe Rts2School Page 8 of 13
